The speculative situation continues without
change, and the dullness was intensified TO-
day, though the general tone of the market
remains firm, The leaders, it is understood, are

"A squeeze in money The present featureless
condition is expected 10 continue unchanged
TO-day's transactions, amounting to 10000
shares were the smallest So far this year and
in the stagnation and lack of feature, the
market eclipsed any day for long period
The forenoon was marked by an advance in
has, while Fort Worth and Denver weak
and lost part of its late advance. But in no
stocA uu INT oN 1le .h eduai per cent, ex-
which lost per cent The remaining stocks OF
the list were too duh for movement or feature
of any kind
The opening was steady, the first prices
showing insignificant changes 1t was un-
usually dull, and the list was without feature
of any kind except the strength in Richmond
TerminBl and the weakness in Fort Worth and
Denver. Toward noon a movement in the
Grangers took place, but after that time there
was nothing to break the monotony, and the
market continued dull but firmer TO the close
General Markets.
